Airport at 7:15 am...
Passenger: Narita.
Check in: OK. Passport, booking reference, covid test result, health test QR code, and pledge. Got those?
Passenger (hands over a file of documents): Here. Any chance of a seat with the next one unoccupied?
Check in: We’re only 10 percent full. Almost have the plane to yourself.

Voice-over
It was a pleasant flight. Mask changes were brought every three hours. Nice food. An atmosphere of calm, unhurried efficiency. Were that travel always like this, at the airport, or on the flight. Just that it took a week to get the paperwork together.
